Aiming down sights?

[RedDeadDan 0]

Hello everyone:)  

Maybe kind of an irrelevant  question but I was wondering if anyone can confirm that we can still aim down sights with every revolver and rifle in first person just like in GTA V by clicking the right stick  while aiming? The newest trailer only showed first person "hip" aiming.

Did one of the press previews mention anything?

 

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it's been confirmed anywhere except stated that it has a lot of options for it in the menus for preferences etc. So I would assume it's like in GTAV where you can choose between having ADS or not when aiming. (CoD/CS) 
Time will tell but I doubt it's not in :)

I can't remember any game which doesn't allow you to ADS, specially R*'s games, so Red Dead will obviously have.

Very likely. The FPS perspective looks to operate very similar to GTA V's.

and what about SHOULDER SWAP?! that one is kind of "important" to me

Most definetly, yes.

What I'd like to know is if there's going to be a way to have both ADS and regular third person aiming without having to change anything in the setting, or pressing the "view" button several times.

I would guess yes, they probably didn't show aim down sights as they were showcasing the environment/other characters at the same time

RDR1 actually had this and I didn't figure it out until the last playthrough I completed like 2 weeks ago.  The D-pad in either direction would change the over the shoulder perspective from left to right.  I don't know if it was in GTAV or not, this game seems like it has more in common with the shooting from it than the original RDR.

RDR had shoulder swap

L.A. NOIRE had shoulder swap

MP3 had shoulder swap

GTA V did NOT have shoulder swap

 

let's hope it's back for RDR2!

Counter Strike  
No ADS unless you're using a scoped weapon 
And with Rockstar's games GTA V is really the only one I can think of that has ADS 🤔

Yeah, and GTA V is the only game that has First Person view, and ADS from Rockstar too, there's no ADS in previous GTA's, Max Payne or RDR1

Yeah, I know (I don't know where did I get that).

Even as a left handed person, I'm so used to having FPS games on the right side of the shoulder view. IDK there are some FPS with the option, but i just stick to the normal view. I guess since i was a kid playing COD I'm so used to it.

Thanks for the replies everyone:)

Kinda funny that we still dont have 100% confirmation that ADS is in since i read that rockstar happily advised people to try out the first person perspective in press previews. No one tried it out or thought it was worth mentioning apparently haha.

Oh well, time will tell, even though its probably in like you said:)
